Yesterday, eches.net was again hit by consistent surge of traffics. While happy looking at the positive development indicated by Google analytics, I was shocked to see a steep slope of yesterday's traffic. Email from Siteground confirmed that eches.net was suspended for hitting the capped level again and causing poor performance to other Siteground's client hostings.
I tried to do a quick transfer to a VPS provider (Knownhost) but I ended up running in the same circle again and again (failed to propagate the name servers etc). I must say VPS is totally a new environment and there are lot of things to be learned. Taking the situation into consideration, I guess it must take at least 2 days to get everything properly setup. 2 days of down time carry too much stakes. The simplest way to get around the problem is by purchasing VPS from Siteground but it costs me a whopping $99 a month!
Eches.net definitely won't dwell long enough in this VPS since there are other cheaper VPSs but provide superb performance. I probably try Slicehost; it's affordable. Starting with $38/month you can have the same specifications as what I have now.
Frankly, I believe there are several companies that are specialized in VPS and dedicated server host and that explains why I start to revisit several hosting review sites that I used to visit long time ago. If you plan to own your first domain, VPS is not for you yet; look no further than to find cheap web host (shared hosting).
I will keep you posted with my new quest on finding suitable VPS for my blog. Don't forget to subscribe my feed.
